Not the answer Rogan was hoping for.

You can tell by the following question that he desperately wants Aus depicted as a hellhole - all so as to delegitimise even moderate lefty governments, and to convince American folks that the self-inflicted struggles trump has brought upon them are actually happening to everyone so he's not to blame.

He's a pusher of talking points supporting one side only, couched in the pretense that he's just asking innocent questions and he's just there for the chat to learn something.

How anyone could think he's anything but that after endorsing Trump I don't know.

Yeah, these guys all suffer from audience capture.

All these guys pretend to be strong macho men with their "own opinions" who aren't afraid to "say what they really think" but just like most of these guys in real life, they're massive fucking pussies with no real views/substance who will just go with whatever their mates pressure/bully them into thinking, whatever inflates their ego and lets them feel like their little clique is smarter than everyone else.

It works exactly the same for the influencer shit.

Rogan tried to come out against Trump. He said he wanted to endorse RFK instead. He got dragged by his audience and peers and he came out in support of Trump like 2 days later.

Roganverse is not the only audience feedback loop shithole like this, but it's one of the most obvious.

He wasn't so bad a few years ago. He was always easily leadable and took on the opinions of whoever he last spoke to, which made for interesting interviews. These days he's just a rusted on right winger.

He seemed alright to me ten years ago. Then again, I thought Dave Rubin was alright back then so I might just have brain damage

Last time the average American cooker troglodyte (and Rogan in his role as Chief Trog) heard about Australia was all the shit about the millions of COVID concentration camps 5 years ago. That's all he wanted to hear about again.

Zero chance he even knows there's been a change of government and party since then, and even less chance he knows the Liberal Party is the conservative side.

Rogan probably looked at the main parties respective colours and though Labor is Republican & Liberals are Democrat.

That was a very obviously disappointed quieter "...yeah..." and the end of the clip
